It was cloudless on the day we set out for Mercury. Fortunately, as the days passed, the sweltering summer was finally over. After entering autumn, the temperature dropped slightly. More importantly, the wind became windy, and the temperature was no longer so hot.
.
This should be the last hot summer in Gotham, because with the joint efforts of Pamela and city government staff, a lot of green plants were planted on the rooftop balconies of various buildings or in the open spaces of public facilities.
The seeds are growing well, the problem of the heat island effect has been solved, and next summer will be much cooler.
Since there were a lot of people going to Mercury this time, they were divided into two starting points, Gotham and Metropolis. Schiller, Bruce and Wonder Woman worked together to organize the people in Gotham, and the remaining Justice League members were responsible for
Over there in the metropolis.
Schiller came early in the morning and sat drinking coffee at a coffee shop by the Gotham River. Flash Barry went to Schiller's place the night before. The two of them came together. Schiller was correcting Barry's paper. The two of them
Discuss the details of the paper.
After drinking half a cup of coffee, Schiller raised his head from the computer and said: "I think it's almost OK. You do a final check within a week and make sure there are no errors in the symbols and separators. I'll call the editor."
A hello..."
At this moment, a young and beautiful figure opened the door. Barry waved over there. Dick and Raven stood in front of the ordering counter and waved to him too.
Soon the two of them came over with coffee. Raven took a big sip of iced coffee and said with some embarrassment: "I said I wanted to do it by myself, but he insisted on coming with me..."
Schiller pushed up his glasses, looked at Dick and asked, "Aren't you going this time?"
"No, I'm the next batch. I have to go back to Blüdhaven. Tim plans to build a factory there. I have to go over and keep an eye on..."
“About the cultivation of specific medicinal plants for Alzheimer’s disease?”
"Yes, the environment there is very suitable, and the residents are very welcoming, but there are too many things that need to be confirmed, so I will probably go there two months later."
"Where's Jason?"
"He won't go either. His focus is on Doujie. Someone has to go there and explore it."
Dick quickly took Raven to the next table, and the two of them sat there for a long time. Breakfast time was almost over, and a burst of mist rose from the Gotham River, and the students from the Magic Academy arrived.
They all did not wear college uniforms, but put on casual clothes, and poured into several nearby coffee shops and breakfast shops. Looking at the expressions of the shop owners here, you can tell that they must often go out to buy things secretly.
.
This street is basically selling food and gifts, so it can be called the Hogsmeade of Gotham. As for Diagon Alley, it has to be a small town upstream of the Gotham River.
In order to prevent the coming and going of magicians from disturbing the world of ordinary people, the exit to the other world was opened in the upper reaches of the Gotham River, which is in the northwest of Gotham, close to the Canadian border.
There was originally nothing in that place, only a few abandoned factories, but more and more magicians built houses there, gradually forming a small town, and most of the people living there were involved in magic.
The place where students from Tan Magic Academy go most often.
This town accepts and welcomes magicians, but after all, it is relatively remote and barren. To be fun, of course it has to be in Gotham City, but students from the Magic Academy are not allowed to enter Gotham without the permission of the professors in the school.
So this time they were able to play in the city openly, and they were very happy. Wonder Woman called for a gathering several times by the river, and several people lingered in the gift shop.
Schiller glanced at his watch and felt that the time was almost up, so he got up with Barry and got on the last bus with several students from Rodriguez College.
The portal is in the basement of Wayne Group. They need to take a bus to Wayne Tower first. After passing the security check, they can go to Mercury through the portal.
The security check before entering the Mercury base is very strict. No dangerous items can be brought in, not even Schiller's umbrella, because the life equation on the umbrella is an uncertain risk factor, so Schiller only took one.
An ordinary black umbrella.
The security personnel did find a lot of prohibited items on the students, but most of them were magic props that were used for convenience, such as cleaning the room or fetching water. However, because of abnormal energy fluctuations, they were not allowed to take them with them.
By the time Barry passed the security check, his whole body was filled with abnormal energy fluctuations. The machine's alarm was almost going off, but of course he was finally let through.
Bruce and Wonder Woman did not go through the security check because they had to pick up the Amazon female warriors, and the people from Paradise Island also gathered in Gotham.
Not long after, among the curious eyes of the students at the Magic Academy, a chirping voice appeared outside the door.
But unlike what they expected, those who walked in were not strong women wearing primitive tribal clothes, but young and lively girls in modern clothes, similar to female students.
In fact, Paradise Island is very famous for its tourism industry, and under Diana's management in recent years, Paradise Island has become a world-renowned sports equipment and clothing brand.
To make the Paradise Island brand bigger and stronger, good employees are naturally indispensable. It is not impossible to hire people outside, but of course we must also cultivate our own business talents, so many young Amazon women have come to study in human society.
After graduation, I gradually entered the family business to work.
Because of their blood inheritance, their physical fitness is much better than that of humans, and their life span is also longer than humans. Their professional life span can be hundreds of years after one training. Moreover, because of the family dividend model, their work enthusiasm is high enough, which is a rare benefit.
staff.
This group of people participated in the Mercury Project this time. Although the female warriors who have been training in the tribe are stronger, if you want to engage in espionage work in human society, it is definitely better for young women who have lived in human society for a long time.
.
After the two parties met, they quickly started chatting. The Paradise Island clan had the same bold and unrestrained character, which was very lovable. The girls quickly won everyone's favor.
After the final security check and preparations were completed, the portal opened, with Bruce standing at the front of the team and Diana behind. The security personnel emphasized the space work rules for the last time, and then lined up in an orderly manner to enter the portal.
Schiller was in the middle of the team. When he passed through the portal, he only felt his eyes light up, and then the texture of the floor under his feet changed.
I have to say that the portal technology here in DC is more advanced, and it is much more comfortable than the portal in Marvel's Mage that only requires death. You don't feel any obvious when you pass through it, and you don't feel dizzy or nauseated, which is very convenient for everyone.
Used by similar groups of people.
After adapting to the light in front of him, Schiller looked up the hall. This was obviously a specially built reception hall. The hall was octagonal, with a portal on each side. However, only two were lit at this time, corresponding to
There are two entrances and exits in Gotham and Metropolis, but perhaps portals should also be established in places such as Atlantis and Amazon in the future.
The Gotham side arrived faster, and the people from the other portal hadn't come in yet. Bruce was originally organizing the people here to line up and head to the living area, but soon received a call from Clark.
There is something wrong with Bian's response work and he needs help.
So Bruce and Diana left. Schiller was responsible for maintaining order here, but in fact he didn't need to maintain it. He was also famous in the Magic Academy. The students in the Magic Academy were a little afraid of him, so they were very quiet.
However, the ladies from Paradise Island were very curious. They didn't understand why this gentle-looking professor could calm down the originally lively students. Soon, several bold and curious girls came over.
"Okay, ladies, please be quiet and stand back." Schiller wanted them to step back, but this group of bold Amazon women never knew what it meant to back down.
While asking.
"Professor, why do you have vertical pupils? Do you have atavistic blood?"
"Professor, which country are you from? Are you mixed race? What subjects do you teach?"
"Professor, do you have MSN? Or can you leave me your email address?"
Schiller was so noisy by them that he was dizzy. Fortunately, a group of people from the Metropolis rushed back in time, but it was obvious that things were not going well for them. Arthur's loud cursing voice could be heard from a distance.
"I have emphasized to you several days in advance, legs! Transform into legs! You must use that fish tail to jump! Do I still need to prepare an aquarium for you?!"
"Okay, Arthur, they didn't mean it, so don't be angry. Isn't this already done? It didn't delay anything..."
Clark and Arthur walked out of the portal one after another, followed by a group of Atlanteans, then Oliver and a group of Mexican guys, and finally Bruce and Diana.
As soon as Oliver saw Schiller, he came up and gave him a hug. From Oliver's mouth, Schiller knew what was going on at the Metropolis.
The young soldiers of the Mexican Revolutionary Army and the Atlanteans both gathered in the metropolis. The former had no problem. With the help of the Luther Group, they all entered the country smoothly, but the latter was in big trouble.
Although the people of Atlantis call themselves a sea tribe, they are actually ancient humans who sank into the sea and are the descendants of gods. Although they can live in the sea, they still have limbs like humans. Logically speaking, they should not be unable to adapt to land.
.
But there are aboriginal people in the sea. For example, in Zebel where Mera is located, there are real sea tribes such as mermaids, snake people, clam demons, etc. Many Atlantis residents intermarried with them and gave birth to many gods.
Blood Sea Descendants.
Hybrids are somewhat like mutants in human society. Certain bloodline combinations make them very powerful. This time, Arthur specially selected all these powerful hybrids and wanted them to receive the best training on Mercury.
However, some of these hybrids have different forms. Because they live too comfortably on the seabed all year round, they are unorganized and undisciplined. They were notified in advance that they were going to turn into human forms, but they didn't take it seriously. As a result, it was a mess when they came ashore, and a bunch of people fell.
He was so twisted that he even scared the young Mexican soldiers.
Although they were ill-prepared, they were still tough-talking. Facing the future Sea King, they did not dare to say anything, but facing the Revolutionary Army soldiers, they were just small talkers. The two parties did not talk much about each other.
Clark started fighting without even looking.
Fortunately, Bruce and Diana arrived in time to resolve the conflict, and they were able to pass through the portal safely.
